Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support andjuster for the quarters of ski boots.
  • US-A-4203235 discloses a removable accessory device for canting the leg of a user applicable on the rear part of a quarter of a ski boot.
  • the device is pivotally attached to the quarter of the boot and is provided with adjustable wedge means arranged between the rear top edge of the quarter and the rear lower edge of the canting member, the wedge acting as abutment means.
  • a strap and buckle are provided for displacing inwardly and outwardly the wedge member thereby adjusting the canting angle of the canting member.
  • the wedge member has a unidirectional positive action on the lower edge of the canting member only when inwardly urged to increase the canting angle. Therefore, the canting member is free to oscillate inwardly, i.e. in the increasing sense of the canting angle.
  • the canting member is free to accompany the leg and in this position of the leg the canting member keeps flippering between the user's leg and the abutment surface of the wedge member, which is a remarkable drawback of the canting member.
  • the canting member is rearwardly tilted by the action of the leg and is caused abruptly to strike against the wedge member, which irritates on the one hand the user's leg and on the other hand engenders increased local stresses on the pivot means and on the abutment surfaces of the wedge member and the adjacent edges of the quarter and the canting member thereby rapidly deteriorating this structure.
  • the aim proposed by the present invention is to solve the above described problems by providing a support adjuster specifically adapted for the quarters of ski boots, which allows the user the possibility of adjusting as required the supporting action effected on the leg by the upper end of the quarter while maintaining the support adjuster in a stable condition.
  • a particular object of the invention is to provide an adjuster which allows to achieve a greater adaptation to large calves in order to reduce pressures on the upper part.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a support adjuster which is very quick and simple to operate, since it does not require particular or in any way complicated manoeuvers.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a rear support adjuster which can be fitted with extreme ease and speed to a ski boot, without thereby giving rise to particular complexities in structure.
  • a not least object of the present invention is to provide a support adjuster which is structurally simple and which, furthermore, is of very low cost.
  • the support adjuster for ski boot quarters comprises a shaped body, generally indicated by the reference numeral 1, which in the illustrated embodiment is shaped so as to embrace at least a portion of the rear part of the leg of a skier.
  • the shaped body 1 is provided with lateral fins 2 tapering forwards which join to a central portion 3 which can be positioned in the rear part of the leg of a skier, substantially below the region affected by the calf.
  • the fins 2, at their tapered end, are connected to the quarter 4 by means of a coupling which is preferably a hinge-like or oscillable connection.
  • studs or pivots are provided indicated by the reference numeral 6, which connect the fins 2 with the lateral part of the quarter 4 so as to allow an oscillation of the shaped body 1 about an axis which is substantially transverse with respect to the longitudinal extension of the leg and transverse with respect to the longitudinal extension of the foot.
  • a denticulated tab 10, provided with saw-like teeth 11, extends downwards from the connecting portion 3, and is accommodated in a recess 12 defined on the outer part of the quarter, while the shaped body is mainly accommodated inside the quarter.
  • Means are furthermore provided for the releasable locking of the position of the shaped body, which are composed of a small lever 20 pivoted in a middle portion thereof to its supporting base 22 and provided, at one end, with engagement teeth 23 which couple with the saw-like teeth 11.
  • Elastic means act, in a per se known manner, on the small lever 20, which means keep the engagement teeth elastically engaged with the saw-like teeth of the tab 10, thus obtaining a coupling which allows upward displacement of the denticulated tab with a ratcheting motion of the engagement teeth on the teeth of the denticulated tab, thereby resisting upward displacement of the tab, while they perform a locking action against downward displacement of the denticulated tab.
  • the lever 20 is furthermore provided with an operating end, indicated by the reference numeral 25, which can be operated to uncouple the engagement teeth from the denticulated tab.
  • the support adjuster according to the invention in all the embodiments described, can be used on any kind of ski boot, both of the conventional monolithic type and of the rear-entry type with the rear quarter pivoted to the shell, and, again, of the type having the front quarter separate from the rear quarter.
  • the invention achieves the intended aims, and in particular the fact is stressed that, with extremely simple means, a ski boot is provided which offers the user the possibility of altering as desired the support offered rearwardly to the leg by the quarter, so as to better adapt to the habits and the needs of the user.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions and the contingent shapes may be any according to the requirements.
